Pottermore leak

Pottermore, if the yahoo info below is true apparently it's a online game...why am I not surprised - IF it is a game, who wants to take a wild guess they want us to pay to play it.

Well, maybe she doesn't see the errors, or does see them but relegates them as minor issues. Certainly many of her fans do the latter. As long as Harry lived and married Ginny they didn't much care if a deus ex machina wand had to be invented to do the job with inconsistent wand lore created out of nowhere.

Maybe in that respect Rowling chose her readership well; primarily children who don't have the sense to know better, who'll accept whatever is placed before them.

Many of her adult fans state that Rowling is a 'good writer' while focusing only on a subset of her work. They ignore the bigger picture or the 'oh, maths!' details. The fact that the thing as a whole doesn't fly doesn't worry them. I can't respect that point of view - it seems childish to me - and I thank the Lord that those people aren't in charge of nuclear reactors or national budgets! - but if Rowling is like that then I guess she's not the 'sad' person you see, she *does* think she did a good job, that it made sense. Maybe those vibes I picked up back then were more impatience over people not agreeing with everything she said, or irritation with those who were picking fault, rather than personal ennui in her world.

I guess I just like to feel bad for people then. She's an adult. I guess she walked into it with both eyes open. ;-)
